June 6, 2013

Grace Trumps Karma

(Continued from Part 1) Clarifying the Gospel How is Christianity different? When I began to think of how to communicate the Gospel clearly in this context, it was more of a challenge than I thought it was going to be.

Thai Demons

The other night watching Bangkok TV in Thai (it is good practice for learning Thai, believe it or not) we came across a show that was supposed to be scary, and it made me curious to see what a scary movie would be like here. It was pretty corny, but that is actually pretty good […]

Some interesting things I’m learning about Buddhism and Thailand
